New Skidoo preview Stoon

On April 4 they will be on display. We went to Edmonton last week for the manufacturers sled preview. They had all four makes on display in one big room at the Mayfield Inn convention center. There were some quads too! Arctic Cat is having theirs in Regina. Yamaha wasnt going to stop in Sask but Proline made enough noise and they were here last Sunday. The Polaris bunch blew right through from Winnipeg to Edmonton.
Couldnt help to see more economic activity as we got past Battleford.

The new skidoos are really choppy and angular looking with a much improved rider position than the rev was (my opinion). The nose is a bit too blunt for my liking. Its at least 40 pounds lighter than anything else out there. Cat has some nice colors and Polaris has an 800 Dragon RMK. its red this year and doesnt look as sinister as last years black 700 did. Yamaha is working on making their 4 strokes lighter. They have a retro paint scheme offered - the black belly pan, white hood with red stripes like they had in the 70's and 80's.
